Let's see if my new DJI Mavic Mini can lift a long wire to be used as an antenna for amateur radio! Not a practical solution by any means but when you have nothing else it will do in a pinch. I do not recommend it though, as you can easily damage your drone and possibly injure an onlooker. The K1 performed flawlessly as usual but the credit goes first to the half-wave end-fed wire with a 64:1 transformer built with an FT-82-43. This was a fun experiment but unlikely to be repeated, though I want to try a kite antenna some time. Please help this channel at https://www.patreon.com/radioprepper

DISCLAIMER: The Radio Prepper logo (depicting a microphone) is indeed inspired from a famous flag created in 1775. It is NOTHING BUT a symbol of freedom and independence. It does NOT imply support to any political group. It does NOT imply, represent nor support any ideology with an intent on harming anyone. Freedom means freedom from persecution based on any human trait or belief such as, non exhaustively, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or nationality. The Radio Prepper channel is a technology and science channel with a focus on preparedness and use of radio technology for disaster relief and small group communications in times of need. It is apolitical and open to anyone sharing the same interests.
